Summary of the previous chapter: After studying the solar recorder, Lu Xian found that he had to get the key, and the key to open the "Pandora's" box must be the two golden square coins in Ma Xiaoquan's hand. For this reason, Lu Xian sent Yuan Fang to Ye
city......
Early the next morning, Yuan Fang said goodbye to Ma Xiaoquan. As for Yuan Fang's substitute from last night, he had long since disappeared.
Ma Xiaoquan originally wanted to ask Yuan Fang, but when he saw Yuan Fang's eyes rolling, he understood the possibility that he was being watched.
"Humph, Yuan Fang, if Lu Xian wants to get the four square gold coins from me..." Ma Xiaoquan said, pretending to take out the four square gold coins from his sleeve pocket and playing with them a few times in a show-off manner.
Yuan Fang smiled slightly and followed the show and said: "Haha, Ma Xiaoquan, you don't have to worry too much. My young master can ask you for this thing, and it's not for nothing. I hope you can consider the conditions we discussed yesterday and say goodbye."
Got it!"
After saying that, Yuan Fang cupped his hands slightly and turned away.
Ma Xiaoquan dragged his chin and looked at Yuan Fang's retreating figure. Thinking of his last conversation with Yuan Fang last night, Ma Xiaoquan was also a little moved.
In the second half of last night, Yuan Fang came up with a plan on how to kill Lu Xian.
Yuan Fang's idea is to ask Ma Xiaoquan to "cooperate" in handing over the golden four square coins. Of course, the handover cannot be in vain. Ma Xiaoquan needs to go in person and work with Yuan Fang to decrypt the solar recorder. In this way, he can keep the money.
Yuan Fang's fate could also allow Ma Xiaoquan to capture Lu Xian alive.
However... in view of Lu Xian's precautions and fear of Ma Xiaoquan, Ma Xiaoquan suggested that Lu Xian might not agree.
Yuan Fang's original words at that time were: Since Lu Xian will not agree easily, then we have to put on a good show to make Lu Xian believe that you can not kill him.
After the two thought about it, Ma Xiaoquan decided to find Zuo Ci first.
After all, Zuo Ci is Lu Xian's master. With Zuo Ci present to vouch for it, Lu Xian should be moved.
Of course, persuading Lu Xian to trust Zuo Ci was also a technical job. After all, Lu Xian stole the elixir from Zuo Ci. Even if Zuo Ci stopped pursuing it, Lu Xian would probably think twice about it.
...
"Haha..." Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his temples. At this time, Yuan Fang's figure had already disappeared.
"Master..." While Ma Xiao was lost in thought, a familiar voice came from behind Ma Xiao.
Ma Xiaoquan came back to his senses and turned around to see, it was his apprentice Mao Gang.
"Oh, it's Mao Gang." Ma Xiaoquan smiled.
"Master, what is Lu Xian's subordinate Yuan Fang doing here?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said, "Ask me for something."
Mao Gang asked: "What?"
"Disciple, do you still remember the object that Master Yi has been looking for?"
Mao Gang nodded and said, "Remember, if I remember correctly, that object is called a solar recorder."
Ma Xiaoquan also nodded and said, "Yes, Yuan Fang came to tell Master that that guy Lu Xian got the solar recorder."
"What?" Mao was about to exclaim when he suddenly found Ma Xiaoquan's eyes staring at him.
Mao Gang quickly changed his expression, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Xian Lu has found it, what should we do?"
Ma Xiaoquan chuckled, took out four square gold coins from his sleeve pocket, played with it and said: "As long as he has this thing, Mr. Lu will never get the secret inside."
"Huh?" Mao Gang stepped forward, took a look, and said, "Master, isn't this a golden square coin? What does this have to do with the solar recorder?"
Ma Xiaoquan asked back: "Didn't my teacher show you the drawing? Why...didn't you remember it?"
Mao Gang shook his head. He really didn't remember the patterns Ma Xiaoquan mentioned.
The focus of Mao Gang's thoughts was all on his mistress Hua Yuexin. As for the detailed solar recorder pattern that Ma Xiaoquan had given him, Mao Gang only glanced at it briefly and put it aside.
"Oh" Ma Xiaoquan was not angry because of Mao Gang's carelessness. Instead, it was because of Mao Gang's ignorance that Ma Xiaoquan became more determined to test him with this gold square coin.
"Bang" Ma Xiaoquan flicked his right thumb and flicked the golden square coin out of his hand and went straight to Mao Gang.
Mao Gang caught it in panic, opened it and saw that it was the gold square coin that the master had just played with.
"Master, you?"
Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said: "You can keep this thing for me from now on. Whenever I want it, you can give it to me. Lu Xian, huh..." With that, Ma Xiaoquan carried it on his back.
Holding his hands, he turned around and entered the courtyard, leaving Mao Gang alone in a daze.
After a while, Mao finally came back to his senses, quickly took out four square gold coins and looked at them carefully.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Mao Gang quickly ran back to his house and took out the drawings that Ma Xiaoquan had given him to compare and check. After a closer look, Mao Gang finally saw something.
"So that's it..." Mao Gang was secretly delighted. He carefully compared the gold square coins a few times, and then carefully closed the pattern.
"Well, it seems he doesn't know yet, haha... well, with this thing, I have one more bargaining chip to negotiate terms with Lu Xian, but there is only one chip, eh, it's a bit of a pity.
..... Mr. Lu... Humph, you thought you got the solar recorder... Without this golden square of money, you can't open it at all, hum...
No, I have to find another way to find another gold square coin... then... humph..."
Mao Gang was still young after all, and he didn't know why Ma Xiaoquan gave him a gold square coin.
There were two gold square coins in total. Ma Xiaoquan gave one to Yuan Fang last night to save his life at a critical moment, while the other one was given to Mao Gang in order to test Mao Gang's mind.
Yuan Fang's words last night reminded Ma Xiaoquan of something, something that he had to pay attention to.
"Rogue..." Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and murmured, "Could it really be him?"
"Ms. sir..." Just as Ma Xiaoquan was talking to himself, Hua Yuexin walked up to him at some point and called out softly.
"Oh, it's Madam..." Ma Xiaoquan smiled at Hua Yuexin.
"Ms. sir, looking at your face, you seem to have something on your mind..."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head: "I have nothing to worry about. By the way, madam, the child in your belly..."
Hua Yuexin touched her belly, her pretty face turned red: "I'm still very young and can't feel anything, but my husband, I want to be a girl this time..."
"Girl?" Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Okay, let's call her... um... Ma Yuan, how about that?"
"Ma Yuan?" Hua Yue thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, when the child is born and it is really a girl, just call her Ma Yuan."
...Hua Yuexin said and gently buried her head into Ma Xiaoquan's chest, but Ma Xiaoquan was thinking about other things at this time...
Half a month later, Hanzhong.
"Well..." Listening to the shadow guard's report, Lu Xian hummed softly and said, "So, except for Yuan Fang meeting Ma Xiaoquan on the first day of going to Yecheng, the rest of the time
Haven’t set out for a while?”
"Yes master!"
"Well, have you secretly searched the place where Yuan Fang is currently staying? Did you find anything?"
"Reply to the master, no!"
"Eh? What the hell is this Yuan Fang doing?"
Lu Xian stood up and said to himself: "Has Yuan Fang already seen my thoughts about him?"
Lu Xian shook his head and comforted himself: "Don't worry too much, Mr. Lu, you are getting younger now, you still have many years to live..."
As Lu Xian spoke, he waved his sleeves. The shadow guard in front of him nodded gently, and then quietly retreated.
Lu Xian walked to the desk, picked up the solar recorder, and looked at the sun.
"These..." Touching the words displayed on the solar recorder screen, Lu Xian murmured, "What are these words, and what do they mean?"
Since he got this solar recorder, Lu Xian has indeed put in a lot of effort to study it. But what makes Lu Xian helpless is that in addition to the two rectangular slots on the solar recorder, there are also two rectangular slots facing the sun.
He didn't recognize the text displayed after a while.
Of course, if Ma Xiaoquan were to read these words, they would not be called words. To be precise, those so-called words are just Chinese Pinyin.
"Someone is coming!"
A deep male voice came from outside the house: "Master, what are your orders?"
Lu Xian carefully picked up the solar recorder: "Is that guy willing to say it?"
"Reply to the master, no!"
Lu Xian raised his lips, pushed the door open and said, "Lead the way, I want to interrogate him personally... Well, by the way, what is the old guy's name?"
"Reply to the master, that person's name is Yang Mingguang."
"Yang Guang?" Lu Xian thought for a moment and said, "Oh, I heard that some time ago, a guy named Yang Liang from their family came to look for me in Yecheng, but it seems that he went to Huai River recently."
"Yes master."
Lu Xian shook his head and said, "You want to find me? That's the same as committing suicide. Let's go and lead the way!"
